Major US Indices Forecast, October 30, 2017, Technical Analysis

S&P 500

The S&P 500 reached towards fresh, new highs during the session on Friday as we had stronger than anticipated GDP numbers coming out of the United States, and then, of course, decent earnings.

I think we desperately need to pull back, although the NASDAQ 100 isn’t as overbought as the Dow Jones 30… Read More
